How to Replace Hyundai Elantra GT Foglight Bulbs
The Hyundai Elantra GT is a Korean made car that is shipped all over the world. The fog lights that are mounted on the front of the car are 55-watt bulbs. Fog lights are used when visibility is low due to inclement weather. The Hyundai Elantra takes a 9006 style replacement bulb, which is a common and easy to find fog light.

Raise up the front of your Hyundai using a jack to support it. Disconnect the wiring to the fog lights. The wiring is connected using a harness, so simply depress the locking tab and pull it off.
2Turn the bulb in a counterclockwise direction until you feel or hear a click. This means that it has unlocked from the housing. Pull the fog light straight out.
3Push the new bulb into the housing connector and then turn it in a clockwise direction.
4Reconnect the wiring by clicking the harness back into place. Replace the foglight from the other side in the same way.
5Lower the car and remove the jack from underneath.

How to Tell the Date on a GT Intake
Dating automotive components is an important part of any repair or modification. Minor changes in manufacturing standards over the years can make components from certain eras more or less desirable for specific uses. Fortunately, most major components in Ford engines are stamped with a four-digit date code. Dating a GT intake manifold is as easy as reading and deciphering that code.

Locate the four-digit damp state on the intake. This is generally on the top of the manifold, to one side of the carburetor passages.
2Compare the first digit to the date column of a Ford date code sheet. This letter will correspond to a production year.
3Compare the second digit to the month field of a Ford date code sheet. This will correspond to a month. This digit varies by production year, so it is important to determine the year first.
